How can I make a gift a tax deduction?

[LarryG]

I am putting together a cruise and review course for new graduate nurses. I know that as a graduate nurse the payment for a review course after school is a tax deduction since it is a related expense to the students future occupation.
My question is this; on a value added review at sea (same review packaged as a cruise), how can I sell graduation gift certificates to third parties and still encourage some type of tax break to the spouse or parents purchasing the course? Any help is appreciated.:thankyousign:
